Rolex Submariner has undergone a major innovation. In addition to the new Submariner with a white gold case and a blue bezel and a black face, another highlight is definitely the Ref.126610LV with a green bezel and a black face. What are the special and different between the latest “Green Submariner” and “Black Submariner”? What is the price in Hong Kong? Now we will analyze and introduce it in detail!
The new Submariner in 2020 is launched with a combination of green bezel and black face. The new watch has a green ceramic bezel, coupled with the classic original black surface of the Submariner, and the appearance is extremely attractive. In fact, the color combination of green and black has always been stylish and beautiful, and the black surface also makes the green bezel more prominent.
Yes, Rolex has launched a Submariner with a green bezel and a black face. It is the “Green and Black” Submariner Ref.16610LV launched in 2003. It was launched by Rolex to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner diving watch. The watch caused a great response that year, because it was the first time Rolex used a green bezel, and the dot hour markers were also made larger, which had a “maxi dial” feel, so it was very popular with users and was not officially discontinued until 2010. This year’s new Ref.126610LV is undoubtedly very similar to the 2003 model, but many design details are very different.
Although the Submariner with a green bezel and a black face is not the first time, the ceramic bezel (the green bezel of Ref.16610LV is aluminum metal) gives it a different feel and texture, so it is still fresh. Compared with the green bezel and green face Submariner Ref.116610LV, which is known as the “green green”, I personally prefer this green bezel and black face Submariner, which feels more low-key. I believe everyone agrees that the black face is easier to match and versatile. As for the last thing everyone cares about, of course, how much the watch costs. The latest official price is $74,600 (the previous generation “green green” was $72,900).
It is worth mentioning that the size of the Submariner series has been enlarged by 1mm, and even the black circle model has been increased to 41mm case size, which feels like a new chapter in Submariner history. The latest price of the Submariner without date, commonly known as the “blind Sub”, is $63,100 (the previous generation was priced at $61,500)
The latest price of the Submariner Ref.126610LN with date is $71,300 (the previous generation was $69,700). The anti-counterfeit crown logo of all new watches has been moved from the watch mirror to the 6 o’clock position on the surface. The author put on the new watch and found that even though the watch is 1mm larger, because the lug lines have been fine-tuned and become more slender, the watch does not feel larger at all, and the feel is still comfortable and solid.
In addition to the changes in color and size, the movement of the two Submariner watches with date has also been upgraded to the new 3235 automatic winding movement, and the “blind Sub” is equipped with a 3230 movement. The new movement achieves Rolex’s accuracy of plus or minus two seconds per day, and the power reserve is also increased to 70 hours, which is naturally more practical. After the Daytona, GMT-Master II, and Yacht-Master series have been replaced with a new generation of movements, this year it is finally the Submariner’s turn.
Finally, what everyone is concerned about is whether the previous generation of “Black Sub” and “Green Green” will be retired and discontinued? I promise there is a high chance! Because the Rolex official website has “taken off the shelves” the watch, just like the blue and black circle three-grid GMT-Master II “Batman” two years ago. And based on the historical experience of “Rolex Endless”, once a watch is discontinued, it is not difficult to estimate what the price of the second watch will be. And the most important thing at this moment, of course, is to quickly queue up to leave your name. Because of the previous “window period” of new watches, the new Submariner will arrive soon! And the one that everyone wants to buy the most, will it be the Ref.126610LV with a green circle and black dial?
